Can you fly through Singapore or Malaysia instead?

They're only refunding flights up until the 28th at the moment so can't justify getting another flight until i can get the Qatar ones refunded unfortunately.

Love how the world has to stop because of the ego of some orange moron in a wig

I don't know if our list is overrated per se, but far out - it would be good to have a Bont like performance every now and then from some of our top 5, where they single handedly put the team on their back and tear apart a game.

I know Bont's don't grow on trees

This seems like as good a place as any for me to get this off my chest.

I am no fan of the Opening Round idea, but I just can't wrap my head around how it is some kind of excuse for the Fremantle result on weekend. Any other week of the year, the team that has had to travel and play a full game in the Queensland humidity the week before is the one that's going to struggle to play the game out. And the team that has just come of months of preparing for this game should be the one that finishes stronger. Surely?!

But apparently the coach wants to talk about it?! Take the L and shut up about it, because the way that game went says more about our preparation (mental, physical and strategic) than it does about stupid fixturing.

Are you that Geelong guy from the other thread

Young did that in the 4th Qtr of the elim final.

Too bad the rest shat the bed

That’s a shame, sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed it works out for you.

Yep it’s insane - utterly unnecessary war once again and entirely built around orange man’s ego. Hopefully Freo can at least brighten everyone’s day next week vs the Dees.

It was literally discussed by Garlic in his interview with The West Australian.

seriously wtf

Didn't see that over east, but that's as it should be and all it needed to be. It didn't require after-the-fact repetition.

JL was asked a direct question about it and answered said question. TBH I am glad he did answer it because now it has people in the media talking.

Should there be a lifetime bigfooty ban on people posing questions and answering them in the next sentence. YES $&$!#%@ YES.

yes it did. I've just listened to 100% of call ins on 6PR over the last week trying to express their frustrations for their club missing R0, even the other jock saying the same thing, and then listening to Jakovich protect his admin job with them saying every single one of the AFLs customers that support WA teams is wrong. So for once, it's nice to not have to say anything because the coach did. And if a head coach says something when they normally don't knowing the heat that they will cop for even just an honest answer to a question, then they certainly believe it and they know a sh5ttonne more than you ever will or will be accountable for.

When JL gets the sack this year, I expect the entire board who enabled him to go with him.

I'll read this properly later, but my thoughts aren't based off that one game. I've thought throughout the summer that we have a very good, but not great, list. All the pundits saying Freo should / will be playing off in the GF are over-rating our list in my opinion. We're good, but not that good. I hope I'm wrong - maybe it's the 32-year factor, but I don't think we're there. Also, after 6 years, I still don't think JL is the guy.

And to further the vent - my hatred for GC and the concessions they have received, and the fact they've they've gone past us, knows no depths.

I think we’re a quality half forward short CURRENTLY. We’ve just drafted a heap of them. Was good to see Duds perform so well.

I’d like Tobyn Murray in next week, thinking about it

And Hayden Young is critical here. He and Murphy are the class we need, but he needs to start improving now. Seems like he can’t get a clear run at it.

He is labouring at the moment, he spent a lot of time forward and his running was slow.

Basically my opinion too.
I’ve got us about 6th best team in the comp.
The bad news is it’s easier to get from 13th best to 6th, than it is from 6th to top 2 - which is where we NEED to be to just have a chance of a grand final appearance.

It’s not an excuse
It just shouldn’t even be a thing

I’m baffled anyone could even think that any part of the concept is not only unfair but makes any sense whatsoever

4 teams will have byes this weekend
In round 2 ?

Riddle me that ?

Enjoy your perma ban
Your lack of punctuation may have saved you on a technicality though
